Well it just goes to show that everyone is different!- I have a Thompson w/setback on my new bike and I found it to be extremely annoying and complex to attach the saddle to and make adjustments to. It works fine now that it's set, but I would never get another one.
Not sure if you have a Brooks saddle or not, but I can tell you that Nitto 'Crystal' seatposts work well with Brooks saddles.
